Sorry for the confusion Charles! Even I have to refer to the books so I can give the most accurate assesments possible about old Colonials..

After I left Colonial, I started Heritage Cutler's and we incorporated in 1997. We sold only high end, high quality Trapper's, Stockmans, Barlow's and a small Lockback!! Here's a pic from my old cat....

Robert, the tang stamp on this knife is 522.  Is there any significance to the difference between 532 and 522?  And thanks for the info.

Very nice Charles! This was from the 70's and the cat.# is 532. The #533 was the three blade large stockman. The 'Old Cutler" line was by far our best work up to 1998, when Colonial went out of business. It consisted of .095, 1095 High Carbon steel blades and springs. It also had .032 liners and a .025 cut scale and an .050 Center cut scale, all of solid brass. It was tubular rivet assembled and pressed on Solid Nickel Silver Bolster's. This is the model line that I chose to customize for many years with my own personal Tang stamp marked RAP Cutler. It came in three sizes with multiple blade combinations, AND a nice Barlow design, our #720. My knives consist of hard woods, Mother Of Pearl, Abalone Pearl, Mammoth Ivory, India Stag, Dyed smooth bone of all colors. I bought most of my bone from my dear old friend Adrian Harris, Colonel Coon and Tennessee Knife Works.
